Ann Griffin – Makai Chiropractic

It was a treat to have Ann Griffin do some ART on me. Not only does she take her time and explains things, but she was able to get release in my neck in less than 5 minutes when other chiropractors had not been able to accomplish that release with repeat visits. Thank you Dr. Ann :)

I have been seeing Dr. Griffin for about 2 years and I can honestly say she has made a dramatic improvement in the quality of my life. I have a recurring neck rotation issue. Last month, I was about a week away from a trip to Africa that involved about 29 hours of flying time and my neck issue flared up again. Ann adjusted her schedule to fit me in for two emergency treatments and even offered to see me in my home before I departed to make sure I wouldn’t be in pain during my vacation. I am happy to say that I was able to go on the trip and did not have any pain.
The other part about Dr. Griffin’s approach that I feel differs from others is that she doesn’t try to put you on a recurring treatment plan. Instead she trains you on how to solve your own issues at home. She honestly wants you to get better.

I saw Dr Ann because I heard she was different from other Chiropractors but in a good way. Having been to other Chiropractors where you go in, they lay you down, crack your back a few times and your out of there in less than 15 min I was surprised that she scheduled me for an hour appt.
I was having neck issues and sometimes when I walked I’d get this cramp in my lower back side. Before the appt. Dr Ann sat with me and we talked about the issues I had (just like my regular doctor does). I liked that she actually cared to know about my medical history. My other Chiropractor had me fill out a form and did the adjustment.
After our talk she explained about ART (Active Release Technology) and how that will help me with my issues and proceed with doing ART. I’m not going to lie as it did hurt at times. But it was one of those hurts that actually feels good too. After she released a bunch of my muscles she did a few adjustments and talked to me again about her findings and suggestions on how I can take care of them. Throughout the whole appt she kept asking me if I was okay and also kept explaining what she was doing. I liked how she was concerned about me and kept me comfortable the whole time.
After seeing her for a couple of sessions I haven’t been back to her with those problems. She fixed me :) I also took her suggestions and re-​positioned my computer screen and adjusted my chair which I’m sure has helped.
I’d highly recommend Dr Ann to anybody who is experiencing any type of pain. She’s very honest and cares about her patients. I asked her once how does she stay in business if she fixes people and they don’t need to come back and her reply was she just wants people to feel better.
